Follow usTyson Fury playfully dismissed speculations about his retirement following the postponement of his clash with Oleksandr Usyk. The Gypsy King was forced to delay the historic battle for the undisputed heavyweight title against the Ukrainian after sustaining a cut over his eye during sparring.
The latest setback led many boxing fans and even Usyk’s team to speculate that Fury might retire without facing the Ukrainian at all. Fury couldn’t resist mocking these claims after the new fight date was announced – set for May 18.
“We move forward, and now we have a new date. Usyk is crying. ‘Tyson needs to retire, Tyson wants to retire.’ No retiring here, mother****er. You’re getting knocked out. Knocked out cold! May 18, the new date. Live and exclusive from Saudi Arabia, the season in Riyadh,” declared Fury.
